This is the first article of "This Is Our Nation" a blog dedicated to the vNFL Pittsburgh Steelers. I want to write about the team in the tradition of the last owner RedZone and his "Steelers Nation".

From the moment of my arrival I change little or nothing. In this season without our star receiver Mitch Wright is impossible for us to be competitive. I know there are many doubts on this players but I think he will be a great player for the future of the team. In general the situation of the team is good and we need to be confident. For this reason in this moment I'm moving to prepare the team for the next season. I change the defense from 3-4 to 4-3 (I know it's not a good move during the season but I prefer to move now) because I prefer this type of defense and we have the players to do this.

Today I released Reuben Ellard and Derek Middleton. We take Ellard in the free agency this year but the player is not set in the team really well. The same for Middleton.

We lost the two last game against Bengals and Ravens but we play well. So with a positive spirit we move to Dallas. Cowboys are in a great condition so we need to prepare for a great game.
See you soon.

"GG Frank, but this game can lick my left nut after that outcome."
